摘要： A flowmeter transducer assembly specially designed for high temperature operation includes only dry-coupled elements. A subassembly preassembled before installation on the pipe section consists of a piezoelectric element held between front and backing electrodes. The backing electrode is backed by a contact electrode while leaving a gap therebetween to prevent reflection of acoustic energy back to the rear of the transducer. The subassembly is introduced into a housing clamped directly on a flow section of a pipe, where the pipe wall is an acoustic wave transmitting or receiving window. In a different embodiment the pipe may serve as the front electrode in dry coupling.

摘要： An ultrasonic position sensing apparatus for detecting open, closed and intermediate positions of a valve element movably mounted in a valve housing includes an ultrasonic target fixedly attached to the valve and having an echo surface which provides a travel time difference for a returning echo, depending on the position of the valve element. An ultrasonic transducer coupled to an outer surface of the valve housing transmits an ultrasonic pulse towards the target thereby generating the echo by striking the target; a monitor means connected to the ultrasonic transducer correlates valve position to the travel time of the returning echo.

摘要： A pipe section through which a liquid passes includes a transmitting and receiving transducer diametrically opposed on the surface of the pipe and arranged to project acoustic energy through the interior of the pipe whereby the output signal from the receiving transducer changes in the presence of a liquid in the acoustic path between the transducers. V-shaped grooves or other surface modifications are made to the surface of the pipe circumferentially between the transducers so as to redirect wall-borne acoustic energy to a more axial direction thus preventing its reception at the receiving transducer.

摘要： In a steam generator an ultrasonic probe is used to measure the accumulation of sludge between the tubes. A ribbon-like probe carrier is fed into the vessel and deflected by a carriage placed in alignment with a lane of tubes at 90.degree., the probe head being advanced in the lane to measure vertically and sideways the distance to the surface of the sludge. The probe carrier consists of two steel tapes held face-to-face by a plastic tube which has been heat shrunk. The conductors for the transducers are contained in the space between concave tapes. An adaptor mounted at the end of the probe carrier is amovably connected to the probe head. Probe head, adaptor and probe carrier are sealed so that measurement can be conducted inside the steam generator supposedly filled with water.

摘要： A coherent signal generated at a precise frequency determined by an atomic clock is transmitted by a moveable object. A receiver station compares the frequency of the coherent signal received from the moving object with a second coherent signal generated at the same precise frequency by an atomic clock in the receiver to determine the radial component of the velocity of the moveable object relative to the receiver as a function of the doppler shift of the transmitted signal. Low cost, low power, miniature atomic clocks with an accuracy of 10.sup.-11 make possible accurate measurements of velocities of only centimeters per second. Such velocity measurement can be used to enhance radar tracking in air traffic control and collision avoidance systems. These velocity measurements can also be used to resolve tracking ambiguities in precision location systems, such as prisoner, geriatric and airport ground control systems, where three or more receiver stations each having an atomic clock measure time of flight of the transmitted coherent signal to triangulate moving object position.

摘要： A method and apparatus for monitoring the velocity of flow of a fluid, by: causing fluid to flow through a conduit section defining a monitoring region, the conduit section having an interior defining a flow path which is free of any physical obstruction that can significantly influence fluid flow in the monitoring region; propagating a beam of energy across the flow path in the monitoring region in a direction transverse to the flow path, the energy being selected such that the beam is modulated by turbulence occurring in the fluid; detecting the modulated beam at a single location in the monitoring region after the beam has traversed the flow path and generating a single electrical signal representative of the detected modulated beam; and processing the single electrical signal in a manner to provide an indication of the modulation of the beam produced by the turbulence in the fluid.

摘要： A system and method for determining the condition of one or more parameters of a valve, e.g., particularly a check valve in a fluid carrying pipe, by monitoring fluid turbulence downstream of the valve. An ultrasonic transmitter-receiver transducer pair provides a signal modulated by the fluid turbulence, which signal is demodulated and processed to obtain a signature or other signal indicative of the valve condition. The processes signature signal may additionally be compared with a measure of flow rate determined just upstream from the valve. By operating the ultrasonic system at high frequency and using appropriate detecting circuitry, low frequency interference from mechanical shocks and vibrations is avoided, yielding a reliable detection of the flow turbulence caused by the valve.

摘要： A system for providing a temperature compensated measurement indicative of the height of a fluid in a vessel includes an acoustic waveguide in fluid communication with the vessel. A reference target is positioned within the waveguide. Ultrasonic signals are produced in the fluid and a timer measures a first transit time representative of the time for the ultrasonic signals to travel to and from the target and a second transit time representative of the time for the ultrasonic signals to travel to and from the surface of a fluid in the waveguide. A circuit calculates the height of the fluid in the waveguide from the first and second transit times. Another circuit determines the density of the fluid in the waveguide from the first transit time and normalizes the calculated height of the fluid based on the density of the fluid such that the normalized height is indicative of the height of the fluid in the vessel.
